Such establishment may or may not be open or available to the public generally, but shall exclude any person under eighteen (18) years of age. It is the intent of this definition that determination as to whether or not a specific establishment or activity falls within the context of regulation hereunder shall be based upon the activity therein conducted or proposed to be conducted as set out above and in these regulations. Such establishment shall not depend upon the name or title of the establishment used or proposed, and it shall be irrespective of whether or not members of the public are invited to enter such establishment. Thus, the terms "adult bookstore," "adult massage parlor," "adult motion picture theater," "adult private dancing," and "adult escort service" are encompassed within this definition of "Adult entertainment", but the term "Adult entertainment" is not to be deemed limited by the enunciation of specific activities listed before. Adult entertainment establishments are allowed in D2 industrial, subject to the limitations set forth in Article 6, Table 13. Adult entertainment- Legislative Intent. As intended in previous zoning ordinances, most particularly, Zoning ordinances 11000 and 9500, this ordinance intends to regulate Adult entertainment as herein defined, to minimize deleterious effects on the neighborhood. These deleterious effects have been presented as evidence and relied upon for adoption in previous adult entertainment legislation in zoning ordinances 9500 and 11000, and are also relied upon herein. Such deleterious effects may include, but not be limited to, depreciation of values of nearby and adjacent properties, deterioration in appearance of the areas in which they are located, production of a skid row type of atmosphere, discouragement of residential uses in the area, and creation of an erotically suggestive atmosphere on public ways used by minors. Moreover, in the development and enforcement of restrictions on Adult entertainment in this code, this section and in Article 6, it is acknowledged that adult entertainment have been found to have serious objectionable characteristics, and to have a deleterious effect on adjacent businesses and residential areas. In making this finding, the Commission has reasonably relied upon evidence of conditions within the City itself, evidence gathered by other localities and communities, and evidence described in judicial opinions. For the protection and welfare of the community, it is necessary, to locate Adult entertainment away from residential areas and commercial areas, and particularly away from public facilities that are used frequently by minors, such as schools, churches, parks, libraries, day care centers or nurseries, and to restrict Adult entertainment to industrial areas. * * * 1.2 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS Content, Adult: see Adult Entertainment; Specified Anatomical Areas; Specified Sexual Activities; see section 1.1 Commercial Use. * * * Public Storage Facilities: An establishment containing separate, secured self -storage areas or lockers used for the temporary storage of household items and seasonal or recreational vehicles, small boats, trailers etc. These facilities cater primarily to the needs of nearby residents.
